Chapter 9: Cleansing the Sutras and Draining the Marrow

Jun Xie is currently in a state that, from the perspective of practitioners of the Dao, can be described as the realm of "Transcendence". This means that, from this moment on, he has broken free from the shackles of the mortal body and has officially entered the ranks of those who cultivate the Dao

At this moment, Jun Xie remained as muddled as before, neither surprised nor delighted, continuing to maintain his state of cultivation, seemingly completely unaware of everything happening around him

In addition to temperament, the fortune and blessings of Jun Ye himself also play a significant role. The Hongjun Tower is indeed Jun Ye's greatest fortune; without the protection of great opportunities, there is certainly no hope of entering the door.

Jun Xie lay unconscious on the ground, his body slowly convulsing without his awareness. Dark, viscous liquid gradually seeped from his skin, slowly soaking and staining the soft white robe he wore...

Speaking of which, this creation and transformation technique is indeed mysterious and unfathomable, being the most superior method since ancient times. However, the way of heaven has its principles; the practice of cultivation is inherently contrary to the natural order, placing the greatest emphasis on an individual's character. Moreover, the foundational skills of this technique are the most difficult to master. In addition to requiring great perseverance and resilience, it also necessitates significant opportunities.

The stains that previously seeped from the body only eliminated most of the impurities within the skin or muscles, while what was carved out truly belonged to the interior of the bones. As for the thick black clots of blood that Jun Xie expelled, they were even more impurities from within the five organs, representing the most difficult impurities to expel from the human body

At the moment when the last link of this fine line connected, Jun Xie suddenly felt a burst of dazzling colors before his eyes, as if the flowers of the entire world bloomed in an instant, with all the seven-colored clouds swirling around him. At the same time, it seemed that thunder rumbled above his head, and in an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared.

Yet, Jun Xie still has his eyes closed, which means that all of this is happening within his thoughts and feelings! This is precisely the first major hurdle of the Heavenly Creation Technique: to stabilize the mind

When Jun Xie woke up again, he found himself in a large wooden tub, surrounded by warm hot water, with two soft little hands diligently washing his body.

The old man took Jun Xie’s fainting as an assassination attempt by an enemy

With a helpless sigh, Jun Xie said: "If I hadn't woken up, would it be a ghost speaking to you?"

In his previous life, Jun Xie was indeed a martial arts master, but he had never ventured into the realm of cultivation. In fact, within his understanding, the notion of cultivating to become an immortal was nothing but nonsense. Therefore, even though he was fully aware of the changes occurring within him, he would merely think that he had encountered some extraordinary fortune.

This mouthful of fresh blood sprayed onto the snow-white bedsheet, bizarrely presenting a pitch-black color, resembling a solid form, surprisingly not flowing, appearing almost like a block of black charcoal

However, Jun Xie possesses all the requirements for cultivating the Heavenly Creation Technique. Jun Xie is inherently a person of extreme resilience; once he sets his mind on something, he never wavers from his original intention. This character trait can be described positively as persistence, but negatively as stubbornness, refusing to turn back until he hits a wall. Yet, Jun Xie is the type who, even after hitting the wall, will not turn back! Now, as he embarks on the arduous cultivation of the Heavenly Creation Technique, it is akin to a turtle encountering a tortoise; it turns out they are all part of the same family.

Lord Jun's voice was filled with anger. He had just scolded the thirty-six guards assigned to protect Jun Xie. Yesterday's incident could be considered an accident, but to think that it happened again today! The old man was furious, nearly ready to explode: "Does my Jun family really look that easy to bully? It seems I must show my authority! If everyone keeps targeting my grandson, how can we continue living like this?"

The little girl's shy expression is truly adorable! With this thought, Jun Xie suddenly returned to his senses and realized that he was actually completely unclothed. He couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed, clearing his throat twice, and said: "I'll handle it myself." As he spoke, he reached out to take the towel from Ke'er.

With a loud bang, the door was suddenly flung open, and a robust figure strode in: "Mo Xie, you are awake? What has happened?" It was none other than Lord Jun Zhantian, followed by several guards.

Although Jun Xie clearly "saw" these strange phenomena, he always firmly remembered that when he was cultivating, he had his eyes closed! In other words, he should not have been able to see anything, yet now he has unexpectedly seen it. What does this signify? This indicates that all of this is merely an illusion!

This achievement is not only unprecedented, but it is also likely to be unparalleled in the future

To achieve the realm of "Transcendence," every cultivator must undergo a process that is both quite painful and lengthy. For some, it takes only a few months, while for others, it may take several years or even decades. There are even those who, throughout their entire lives, are unable to reach this realm! Yet, Jun Xie managed to do so in just one night! This is truly a miracle among miracles. If this were to be spoken of, it is likely that no cultivator would believe it.

This sitting unexpectedly lasted until the early hours of dawn! Jun Xie could clearly feel that the subtle sensation of energy flowing within his body, as fine as a thread, was becoming increasingly lively, and gradually it began to connect into a single line

Thus, Jun Xie remained indifferent, steadfastly maintaining the clarity of his spiritual platform, continuing to cultivate his energy, oblivious to everything around him

"Ghost?! Ah!" Ke'er let out another startled cry. Jun Xie suddenly realized that he could clearly see the fine hairs on the little girl's face standing on end, her small face as pale as if she had truly seen a ghost. Jun Xie couldn't help but sigh, "Stop screaming. Even if you really saw a ghost, it would only be your current complexion. Your acting is truly on point."

Since ancient times, even if some individuals have had the opportunity to cultivate this primordial creation technique, those who succeed are exceedingly rare. Consider this: if a person with an ordinary mindset encounters no response after circulating their energy for a hundred or so cycles, they are likely to give up, as such monotony is not something that most can endure. Furthermore, if one's spirit is even slightly weak, it is impossible to persist. A prodigy like Jun Xie, who can circulate energy for hundreds or even thousands of cycles in one go, is truly one of a kind for someone with no prior cultivation experience

Moreover, Jun Xie was originally a soul that had traversed dimensions, possessing a naturally strong consciousness. With the assistance of the Hongjun Tower, he achieved a unity of body and spirit with Jun Moxie, further enhancing his consciousness. All these factors combined allowed him to break through the first major obstacle in just one night

With a startled cry, Ke'er grabbed a towel and retreated far away, trembling as she looked at Jun Xie, her eyes filled with panic: "S-s-sir, y-y-you... are you awake?"

Upon opening her eyes, she discovered that the little maid, Ke'er, also had her hair soaked with sweat, her face flushed from the heat. In her small hands, she held a soft cloth, panting as she cleaned herself. Her tiny lips were tightly pressed together, and her face bore an expression of distress, as if she were about to cry. Her pair of bright eyes deliberately gazed upwards, only lowering her head to glance when she needed to wipe a different spot, but then she would quickly shift her gaze away again.

Her bright eyes intentionally looked upwards, only lowering her head to glance when she needed to wipe a different spot, but then she would quickly shift her gaze away again.

Even if someone possesses such determination, they may become obsessed in the process due to insufficient mental strength

"Boom!" It was as if a bomb had suddenly exploded in Jun Xie's mind. His body trembled, and he suddenly felt as if he had lost all weight, his spirit drifting aimlessly. With a loud gasp, he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, which sprayed far away, and then he fainted.

This is certainly not due to Jun Xie's unique constitution, nor is it because of the current strength of his mental power. There are naturally other reasons, among which the white mist is the most significant factor, as it is the purest essence of the natural world. However, at this moment, Jun Xie remains unaware of this.

This is the true essence of cleansing the sutras and refining the marrow

The mud ball palace at the top of his head began to throb increasingly violently, eventually beating in a more rhythmic manner, growing hotter and hotter, while Jun Xie’s fair face gradually turned crimson
